🖋️ Lyrics:
The votes are in but no one cares
Your ‘choice’ is really theirs
We think we’re smart, and oh so kind
And then we sign the dotted line

We tell our kids just use your words
And then we vote for warmongers
Don’t bother Mulder we don’t need Scully
For us to see that we're the bully

Whoa, we will pretend we got the most righteous plans ON EARTH
But take a look inside and unless you’re not that bright
It’s time we all face it, we’re addicted to thugs

Your postin’ memes you’re feelin’ smug
Go choose your favorite thug
You know you’re right you’ve done your part
But it feels fucked deep in your heart

Some heart and soul is what we need
To live beyond the war machine
The bombs still drop when my side wins
But they don’t drop up where I live

Whoa, we like to pretend we got the
most righteous plans on Earth
But take a look inside and ‘No Thanks’, ‘I know I’m right’ So we all end up complacent and addicted to thugs

Time we all face it, we’re addicted to thugs
Time we all face it, we’re addicted to thugs
Time we all face it, we’re addicted to thugs
Time we all face it, we’re addicted to thugs
TIME WE ALL FACE IT WE’RE ADDICTED TO THUGS

The wars rage on, the deals get done
While life at home is way less fun
They say go fight for liberty
Then watch you live in misery

Whoa, will pretend we got the most righteous plans ON EARTH
But take a look inside and unless you’re still too high
It’s time we all face it, we’re addicted to thugs

Time we all face it, we’re addicted to thugs
Time we all face it, we’re addicted to thugs
Time we all face it, we’re addicted to thugs
Time we all face it, we’re addicted to thugs

Time we all face it, we’re addicted to thugs
Time we all face it, we’re addicted to thugs
Time we all face it, we’re addicted to thugs
Time we all face it
